1. What are your beliefs about how people learn
best? What is the purpose of learning theory in educational technology?
I have been working with children for about twelve years. The way people learn is how they process
information that is being taught. There
are seven learning styles that determine how people learn: Visual (spatial, Aural (auditory-musical, Verbal
(linguistic), Physical (kinesthetic), Logical (mathematical), Social
(interpersonal), and Solitary (intrapersonal).

Learning is a discipline that one person develops
and teaches on their own. Even with technology
students will have to want to have the desire to learn. I also believe that it is how the content is
being delivered. Teachers tend to teach
lessons on how they perceive students should grasp the information. Schools want more rigorous lessons that
provide higher order thinking questions.
Students who struggle in school tend fall on the downside of these rigorous
lessons.
